There are five types of access that is provided to institutions to access the eBooks.

1. Remote Access: Common Username/Password and Referral URL

2. Common Username/Password: A single username and password is shared with all the users to access the eBooks remotely.

3. Referral URL: Placing a button or a link on the authenticated page thereby allowing users to read the eBook by just clicking the button/link.
